Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge #23 "Color Challenge"

Hello my crafty friends!  It's Friday so that means another Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge!  Mary gave our Design Team a challenge to create a card, layout, or other craft project using red, black, and white ONLY.  The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I used the Cardz TV Stamps  set "Be My Valentine."  The red cardstock measures 4 x 5 1/4 and I ran it through the Cuttlebug using the Hugs and Kisses folder.  I used Spellbinders dies to cut the oval  and scalloped oval.  I ran the white oval through the Cuttlebug using the Textile folder.  I punched the hearts using the Stampin' Up! full heart punch.  The corners were punched using an EK Success corner punch.  I punched little hearts using a Studio G mini punch and added them to the ribbon.  And of course, I added two buttons.

 Now it's your turn to join our challenge!  All you have to do is create a card, layout, or other craft project using red, black, and white ONLY.  Once you've finished, head on over to Mary's blog and enter a picture and a link to your blog.  You have from Friday, January 25th, until noon EST. Thursday, February 7th.   She will be giving away a set of her awesome stamps to the winner.
                       
                                          MY GIVEAWAY!!!!
                                    
I have some blog candy for you as well. I'm giving away this set of Spellbinders Nestabilities dies called Big Scalloped Ovals SM.   All you have to do to be entered is: 1.  Please be a follower of my blog   2.  Please leave me a comment on this post.     I will announce the winner on Thursday, February 7th.  

 Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope to hear from you.  Have a great weekend!

 Lots of Hugs,
Laura

    Love the card! I am new at this, and I wonder if you stamped the sentiment before or after you embossed it?

    Did I mention that I am new at this? So new that I only have one set of dies; if I win this set I would have TWO sets!

    You are now on my follow list to enjoy all of your lovely creations!

    Hello my friend, it's been a long time. Life took over and I'm sure you know what that is like. Your card is absolutely beautiful - red, black and white are my favourite colours for Valentine, and I love the sentiment! I hadn't seen the xoxo folder - I'm going to be on the lookout for it - it's so pretty.
    Take care my friend.
    Hugs,
    Lena
